I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Tai handed his seal to the clerk, and then continued with a smile:

"You tell the county magistrate that there are such gangsters in Chang'an City who are extremely dangerous, and now you suspect that they have entered King Ji's property to take refuge.

For the sake of King Ji's safety, ask him to send people over quickly to search. Go ahead. "

Li Tai's reason barely passed the test, but he ignored one thing. The magistrate of Wannian County was called Di Zhisun, and he was Di Renjie's father.

Li Shen bought this county magistrate at a huge price.

When Di Zhisun heard the report from the junior official after he returned, he couldn't help but sneer. He was an upright official who was not afraid of power.

Although King Wei is a prince, he is just of a higher rank than himself. Where is this place? This is the capital of Chang'an.

As one of the two major county magistrates in Chang'an City, he is different from other ordinary county magistrates.

The previous county magistrate was demoted because he took orders from Wang Wei, who was the second-in-command of the Yushitai at that time.

"Let's go with me to Dongshi to meet King Wei." Di Zhisun stood up and said.

"Yes, Mingfu."

Di Zhisun and his people soon arrived at the Dongshi Qidian Chamber of Commerce and saw Li Tai and Li Zhi stepping forward to salute.

"Xiaguan Wannian County Magistrate Di Zhisun has met the King of Wei and the King of Jin."

Li Tai and Li Zhi were very satisfied with the arrival of the Chang'an County Magistrate in person. They are princes, and this is how the County Magistrate should come.

This shows their nobility.

"Wannian County, I suspect that the criminals who robbed the gold from the Qidian Chamber of Commerce yesterday are still here and have not gone far.

It is very likely that it is hidden in the former headquarters of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty across the street. Now take someone to search it immediately.

If you can catch the thief, you will be considered to have accomplished a great feat. I will personally go to His Majesty to ask for your merit. "

Li Zhi said to Di Zhisun amiably with a smile.

When Di Zhisun heard this, his face was calm, and he did not climb into the prince's joy, and replied calmly:

"Your Majesty, Prince Jin, this place is the property of Prince Ji's Mansion. How dare you lead people to rush in and search without evidence?"

If His Highness Prince Ji blames the official for breaking into a private house and adds a charge of disrespect to the prince,

I can't afford it.

If you want to search this place, you can only get an order from the Ministry of Justice or an edict from the three provinces. His Majesty issued an order. Otherwise, the official would never dare to go in and search. "

Di Zhisun was neither humble nor arrogant, and what he said was reasonable and well-founded. This made Li Zhi, who had been smiling just now, look a bit ugly.

He thought that Di Zhisun was here to climb their high branches, but he didn't expect that he would be so disrespectful.

"Disrespectful to King Ji? You have already disrespected me now." Li Zhi frowned and looked at Di Zhisun.

Di Zhisun still replied calmly:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this official is just doing things impartially and does not mean to be disrespectful to the prince. I believe that His Highness the King of Wei should also know the rules."

As he spoke, Di Zhisun looked at Li Tai who was standing aside.

Li Tai smiled slightly when he heard Di Zhisun's words. He understood what Di Zhisun meant. The officials at the emperor's feet must be loyal to his majesty.

Otherwise, he may be dismissed from office, or his life may be at risk.

Little things don't matter. If you bully men, dominate women and playboys in Chang'an City, people can pretend they don't see you. These are all trivial things.

This is because people don’t want to argue with you because you are a prince, but you, a prince, want to order others,

This is a different matter. This is taking orders from you, which is a big taboo.

"Pheasant slave, what County Magistrate Di said makes sense.

Let's do this. Magistrate Di will guard this place first, and Prince Jin and I will go into the palace and request your Majesty's order for a search. What do you think? "

"Thank you for your understanding, His Majesty the King of Wei. If there is His Majesty's will, I will do my best to keep the safety of Chang'an City and track down the culprits with all my heart. This is my unshirkable responsibility."

Di Zhisun bowed and expressed his wishes. He was the magistrate of Wannian County, and of course he had to set an example in his own territory.

"Okay, then we have Magistrate Laodi. Pheasant slave, you and I can go into the palace together, otherwise something will happen."

Li Tai said and looked at Li Zhi, who nodded after hearing the words, got on the carriage with Li Tai and headed towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei and the King of Jin are asking for an audience outside the palace." A eunuch came in to report.

"Let them in."

Li Shimin was currently reviewing the memorial with the prince in Liangyi Hall.

He was somewhat uncomfortable after taking over the government in the past two days, and there were too many memorials, so he called Li Chengqian over.

"My son has met Aye, I have met my eldest brother." The two of them saluted together after being brought in.

"Did you two come here for something?"

Li Shimin asked, looking at his two sons. There was some disappointment in my heart, but the two sons finally came together.

"Aye, there was a fire in the East Market yesterday, and five thousand kilograms of gold in the vault of the Qending Chamber of Commerce disappeared.

Er judged that because there were more guards last night, the thief must not have gone far. The most likely place was an estate under the name of the tenth brother.

These thieves were extremely vicious and might be harmful to Chang'an, so I came to request an order to search the tenth brother's property.

Lest these thieves inadvertently hurt the tenth brother. "

Li Zhi was the first to speak. He and Li Tai had already thought of their words. Their father knew that they had never gotten along.

Therefore, if they want to search King Ji's property without any evidence, it will inevitably make their father feel disgusted.

It can only be said that he was afraid that the thief would hurt Li Shen, so he went in to search.

But they also know who their father is.

Sure enough, Li Shimin kept looking at them just after they finished talking. After a while, Li Shimin said:

"I know what you mean. You are suspecting that Lao Shi did this. The property you are talking about is probably the one opposite the Chamber of Commerce where you aspire."

"Aye, we don't suspect Lao Shi, we just suspect those thieves are at that property.

Because of the fire last night, a lot of extra people were deployed everywhere. It would be difficult for the thieves to transport the gold.

You must find a place to store it and wait for the opportunity to transport it out of the city. "

Li Tai took a step forward to explain.

"Okay, if you doubt it, just doubt it. There is nothing to hide. I also doubted Lao Shi after I learned the news.

But just now Lao Shi came, crying and asking me to make the decision, saying that someone had a problem with him.

Last night, three of his properties were burned down, resulting in a loss of more than 300,000 yuan. Please ask me to send some capable people to investigate the matter strictly and give him justice.

I have already arranged for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send people to investigate this matter.

But your suspicions are not exaggerated. If it was really Lao Shi who dared to kill people and set fire to the city of Chang'an, I will definitely punish him severely for such a stupid move. "

"Has the tenth brother been here?" The two brothers were stunned. They didn't expect that Li Shen would come here before them, and they still requested a strict investigation.

"Wang De." Li Shimin shouted.

"The old slave is here."

"Immediately go to Dongshi with the King of Wei and the King of Jin, pass on my instructions, and search the house opposite the Qingding Chamber of Commerce. If there is a thief, take it down immediately and ask who ordered it.

Tell Wannian County to report it to me immediately if there is any news. "
